There’s now an app that lets you hook up with celebrity lookalikes

Will you settle for second best?

Wish you were in Ranveer Singh’s uber expensive shoes when he was romancing Deepika Padukone in Ram Leela? Badoo, the world’s largest dating network, will make your wish come true. Well, almost. Lookalikes, a new feature launched by Badoo, uses facial recognition technology to map and match users’ faces with those of celebrities. So go on, opt for it; upload a selfie to put your mummy’s assertions of you looking “just like Hritik” to the test. If there are any ladies who are into that (and trust us, there are), they’ll know where to find you.

But it isn’t just celebrity doppelgängers who are available to be wooed. If you’ve got the hots for someone you can’t have, like a co-worker or an ex, you can find someone who looks just like them by simply uploading their picture.

But that’s where the easy part ends. You might be able to find someone who is a dead ringer for the woman of your dreams. However, much like on Badoo’s competitor, Tinder, the other person also has to like your profile before a match is formed and conversation is initiated. To ensure that those braves who have managed to cross the conversation hurdle do get to meet the lady(/ladies) they’ve matched with, Badoo has put in place a geographical filter. The app will first show you users who are closest to your location. But since we’ve been told a million times that love goes beyond boundaries, Badoo allows you to scroll to the remotes corner of the internet-connected earth to find whatever or whoever you’re looking for.

Most people, though, are looking for Kim K.

According to the company, Kim Kardashian West is the most searched for celebrity worldwide. We’re not surprised since the real Kim has at least six lookalikes with verified Instagram accounts who are making it as models and vloggers.

Coming in at a close second is Emma Stone, followed by Selena Gomez and Beyoncé. Not too far behind, occupying the position of the tenth most searched celebrity on Lookalikes, is the President of the United States, Donald J Trump. Trump is winning so bigly at this that we cannot help but wonder which Indian politician would make the cut once the feature is available on Indian apps as well.

So if you, like most people, can’t wait to meet find your celebrity crush’s mortal twin, you’ll just have to wait a little longer. But if you’re a celebrity lookalike who only wants to lead a quiet life with none of the problems that come with insanely good looks, loads of attention from the opposite sex, and all those painful bundles of money producers and advertisers will throw at you, then you can simply turn off the facial recognition feature. Though, if you’re a Kylie Jenner lookalike (looking at you, Diljit), we sincerely hope you won’t.
